Abstract

The objective of this cruise report is to compile the data collected
by 23 undergraduate students, 3 staff scientists, and 4 visiting scholars
on cruise W-43 of the R/V Westward. This compilation of data in one place
can serve as a guide for future Westward cruises, as a data base for interpretation
of results by scientists ashore, and as a teaching reference in
the shore component of the Sea Semester program.
The report presents an overview of cruise W-43 with some preliminary
interpretation of results. We conducted an array of individual projects,
many of them focused on the study of island mass effects, and this report
provides space to see how our diverse interests meshed.
